Poor dog!!!!

The windchill here was 25 degrees below zero this morning and it looks like someone in my town may have left their dog inside a parked SUV overnight. My son was waiting to meet someone downtown this morning when he kept hearing a dog barking but couldn't find it. He finally realized where the barking was coming from...

We got a couple of inches of new snow Sunday evening and it was really obvious that the SUV hadn't been moved since then. I told my son that he should call the police if he ever saw a situation like that again.

That's horrible! That someone would leave their animal in a car in those conditions-they don't deserve to be sharing their lives with any living creature.

Hopefully, your son will know what to do if he ever comes across something like that again.

Here, it is illegal to leave a child or animal, alone in a car. That's, mostly because of the heat but, cold can be just as deadly. Cops are legally empowered, to break windows and remove a pet, impound it and bill the owner for boarding fees, as well as a fine.

You're right Lorie - poor dog! How awful. Cindy - every place should have such laws.

You or your son should drive back there (provided it's not 2 states away or something hahah.) And see if the dog is still in there. If it is, call the police.

That is so sad!!!!
